Diluted By Poison

Keep swinging Capricorn when the world's not on your side He tasted her first, but they all say otherwise Stand for the teachers Fall for the Gods the Devil and Jesus, the same sign under the stars Not felled just falling crush and begin again Covered in roses it was us and never them Diluted by poison shot down and unknown let's look to the future and pretend that we don't know There is one thing that I need it's more than I deserve Outside the temple, wondering what it's worth Look at us shining now, in the midday sun He caught the birds and set them free all of them but one I'll dive out of this world and take with me my wings I was sorry then and I'm sorry now an endless offering I'm warm again and finally, my words are being read Wash away like letters in the sand They'll wash away like letters written in the sand
